Flaming In The U.S.A. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Tim Atherton Sent: Wednesday, July 31, 2002 4:17 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] Selling to the US... I often buy and sell photo stuff on Ebay and came across an interesting situation yesterday. I had sold a lens and got payment in $US in the form of a Bank cashiers cheque. I have always accepted payment in this form or a Bank Money order and have ahd no problem paying them into my Canadian bank (same with regular cheques from clients like the NY Times etc). At most, the bank put a 3-5 day hold on the cheque, though as a valued customer this was usually waived. Yesterday I found there is a 14 day hold on all such transactions - reason given - the uncertain and untrustworthy standing of US financial instituions as a result of Enron, Worldcom, Johnson & Johnson, now AOL- Time Warner etc. Wow - never thought this stuff would impact my Ebay sales....
